Eight days out, Grand Theft Auto VI is locked for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S after two delays.
Grand Theft Auto VI is eight days away. Rockstar Games' next open-world crime epic is dated Thursday, November 19, 2026, and pre-orders are open on the Xbox Store with Standard and Ultimate editions listed.
Which platforms get GTA 6 at launch?
Launch platforms are PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A PC version has not been announced; coverage of Take-Two's launch materials names consoles only. The ESRB rating is still listed as pending on the store page.
How we got here: two delays
- December 2023: the first trailer revealed a Fall 2025 window.
- May 2025: Rockstar moved the game to May 26, 2026, apologising that it was "later than you expected".
- November 6, 2025: a second move to November 19, 2026. Rockstar said the extra months would let it finish the game with the polish players expect.
